Aircraft was filmed from approx 1 kilometer from the helipad, exiting clouds in a dive, the aircraft then climbed back heading North into the cloud base adjacent the helipad. A short time later, under 90 seconds judging by the changing position of the ferry, (which is only visible in the full height versions of the videos) and comments by the videographer that he returned within seconds, he is filmed south of the camera position near the power station in a low hover where he then climbs again into cloud base heading North.

Three climbs into the cloud base.
Two occasions passing by the helipad.
Low hover opposite a landmark power station.
